Port labels serve as a useful reference point and as an accurate means of
identifying your ports for management. You may want to label your FDDI
ports for easy identification of the devices attached to them (for example,
workstation, server, FDDI backbone).
To label an FDDI port:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi port label
You are prompted for a slot related to the FDDI port.
2 Enter the slot(s).
You are prompted for a port and a label value.
3 Enter the port.
4 Enter the label value.
You can only assign ports to a new station when the FDDI backplane paths
are set for multi-station mode. If you access this menu item when the FDDI
backplane paths are set for single station mode, the following message
appears:
The FDDI backplane path mode is set to "singleStation" so
all three backplane paths are part of the same station.
This menu item is only useful if the FDDI backplane path
mode is set to "multiStation".
To assign ports to stations:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
fddi port station
You are prompted for a slot related to the port.
2 Enter the slot(s).
You are prompted for a station assignment for each port in the slot(s) you
specified.
3 Enter the station assignment. The possible values are 1, 2, or 3.
